January monthly theme
If 2023 has you feeling excited to try new things or double down on your efforts—great! Here’s how to channel that energy.
Definition
fresh-start effect
The increased desire or inspiration to take action during key milestones—around a birthday or holiday or at the start of a new week, month, or year.
Jump-starting your activity routine, planning more meals, going to bed earlier, eating extra veggies—all things that’ll help unlock success on your journey. And it’s normal to want to dive into everything right now. After all, why not take advantage of a calendar-based boost in motivation, right?
Well, sorta. While a new year may be invigorating, trying to change or do too much at once can backfire and leave you feeling more overwhelmed than ambitious. So, this month, we’re sharing the four most effective weight-loss behaviors for you to focus on—food and weight tracking, healthy eating, and getting active with others—plus how to stick with them, even after the fresh-start effect starts to get stale.
Check back over the next four weeks for this month’s weekly techniques.
